New beginnings

Proteas from Camberwell Market

So... I've completed my transition to the "wrong side of the river". Packed my stuff into boxes, handed in the keys to my flat, and moved into a very cute little single-fronter inhabited by a man-friend who most graciously made room for all my furniture and helped me hang pictures on the walls.

It was probably the smoothest, most stress free move I could have imagined and now that I'm settled in I'm just loving it. My commuting time may have increased to about 1.5hrs a day, but it's so worth it.

Of course another thing that's helped with my transition to the east is having Camberwell Market just down the road. Last Sunday I crawled out of bed at 6:30am, put on a gazillion layers and met up with Sass from Ask Alice just after sunrise. Sass is a Camby Market regular who knows all the stallholders' dogs. We ate hot jam donuts and I bought two vintage footstools for reupholstering and the cutest set of vintage beakers. Now home to 6 succulents!

So even in Australia there is a wrong side of the river, I myself here in Germany lived on it too ;) Great find this vintage beakers and they look fabulous with the succulents. I love succulents! (Maybe because they are the only plants that survive at my home)

I am in the provess of moving from the city to the country (for work) and hence have a chance to furnish and decorate a new place.

My search for inspiration brought me to your blog and I have been going through the picture of your previous apartment and have noted down Bride and Wolfe for that amazing 3 tier shelf and was wondering if you could tell me where you got your furniture from?
